Poetry Review
The first poem I am going to tell you about is Where Go the Boats?. The poem tells of a story about a race that happened between little boats that are sailing down a river. It also vividly describes the scenery around the little river. This poem has no literary device and the rhyme scheme is ABAB CDCD EFEF GHIH. The theme of the poem was that boat races can be a very good experience for the people in the races. The second poem I read was About the Sheltered Garden Ground. The rhyme scheme of this poem is ABCB DEFE GHIH JKLK. It is a poem about someone's struggles in their life and it is an awesome poem that I would reccomend reading. The third poem I read was The Cow. The poem descirbes the daily duty of the cows on a farm. It also tells the reader of the struggles it does just to give us our milk. The rhyme scheme of the poem is ABAB CDCD EFEF. The poem did not use any form of literary devices. The theme of the poem is that we take all of our stuff for granted and we should be thankful for the stuff that we have and not be so ignorant of it.
Famous Works
Some of his most famous works were Kidnapped in 1886, Treasure Island in 1883, and A Child's Garden of Verse in 1885.
